Calling all cat lovers!

I'm hosting this swap out in swaplandia, and Lou asked if I might host it here as well. So.....here goes!

For this swap you will have one partner and to that partner you will send one piece of mail art featuring . . . . CATS!

Your mail art should take the form of a decorated envelope and include an image or images of a cat or cats. Feel free to go crazy on the cat theme. You can use magazine cut-outs, photos, book pages, wrapping paper, deco tape, drawn or painted kitties, or any other artistic expression for this swap.

Requirements:

•1 cat-themed mail art to 1 partner

•envelope must measure at least 4" x 5" but can be larger

•include 1 cat-themed surprise inside the envelope for your partner

•MAIL the cat envelope; do not send it inside another envelope (unless it is a clear envelope where the mail art can still be enjoyed)

  • have fun creating!

Is the size 4" x 5" the standard size for envelopes?

isabellasnow 06/ 5/2013 #

@efjellro . . . no it is not "standard"....it is the smallest envelope the US postal service will accept. This is not so much a requirement as just a reminder that nothing smaller can be mailed through the U.S. system.

3" x 5" is the smallest envelope the U.S. postal service will accept -- more info available at usps.com

Thanks for the clarification @lou ... the postmaster gave me incorrect info!
